I was commissioned to make Ash's chainsaw-replacement appendage from the movie Army of Darkness. Here's what I was aiming for:
This was mostly constructed from heat-formed styrene with bits of hardware here and there. The chainmail glove is a meat slicing glove like you see in a deli...You couldn't pay me enough to hand link a glove like that! The only thing I couldn't source was the buckles for the straps. The client wasn't adamant on screen accuracy so I found some that he liked at Tandy. The cocking lever does move and has enough spring tension to return it to the closed position.
The full WIP is on my blog!
